    The Balloon Festival

    Tina waited.

    Bette rolled her head to the left in the direction of the blonde, put her chin on her shoulder and finally looked up into Tina’s awaiting hazel eyes. They danced when Bette looked into them. Tina smiled, sweetly.

    I love you, Baby.

    Bette took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Still looking into Tina’s eyes, Bette bit her lower lip.

    I know.

    Tina ran her free hand through Bette’s hair. She lightly scratched the base of Bette’s head. She repeated that movement several times before she finally placed her forehead against Bette’s and placed her hand on Bette’s cheek. Tina waited for Bette to do the one thing she knew she’d do.

    Tina nudged Bette’s head. Bette exhaled and grabbed Tina’s wrist and closed her eyes. Tina knew Bette loved it when they sat facing each other with their foreheads pressed together, Tina’s hands on both of Bette’s cheeks and Bette holding on to both of Tina’s wrists. It was so intimate. Bette loved breathing Tina in. Tina loved the closeness.

    Bette grabbed Tina’s hand from her upper thigh and slowly brought it up to her other cheek. Tina smiled.

    Alice cleared her throat.

    “Uhhh…I don’t know what the fuck you two got going on right now. But I think that’s my cue to leave.”

    Bette, still leaning against Tina’s forehead, turned towards Alice.

    “Ya think?” Bette laughed.

    Tina saw Bette wink at Alice as she was getting up. Then Bette kissed the inside of Tina’s right palm. Tina melted.

    “Hey Al! Don’t forget we are firing up the grill on Saturday.”

    Alice noticed Bette’s eyes were closed. She mouthed ‘check your phone’ to Tina. Tina acknowledged what Alice said by blinking. Alice nodded and disappeared through the patio.

    Tina and Bette sat like that for several heartbeats. Tina finally broke the silence.

    “I’m sorry for being such an asshole, Baby.”

    “No need to…”

    “But there is,” Tina interrupted.

    Bette was about to protest again until she saw the tears daring to break free from Tina’s eyelids. She sighed.

    “We’ve both been busy. You didn’t get back until late last night. You would’ve noticed them eventually.”

    That word ‘eventually’ was a dagger to Tina’s heart. She knew she needed to do better before it was too late.

    1. Wow wow wow!!!! What a chapter!!!!

      It started out so positive and gave me hope, hope that thanks to this day they were one step closer to rebuilding their relationship but by the end of the chapter I was in tears and I could literally feel the pain of Bette in particular. She was harsh in her words but it was really what Tina needed to hear, the hard cold truth what her behavior and leaving Bette did. Bette’s words that Tina loves her but doesn’t feel that, ouch!!!
      Tina seemed to understand what her leaving Bette had done before this talk but she didn’t seem to feel the real impact, what it did to Bette emotionally.

      How can you tell someone that you are leaving her because they loved you too much. I sincerely hope that Tina finally understands that saying sorry and I love you is not enough but that she needs to show it in action.

      And I fell in love with AJ, what an incredibly cute and sweet kid, love at first sight between him and Bette. Tina is only now realizing how good a mother Bette can be, although she already knew that from the flashback she had earlier. But that she didn’t see herself that Bette also had a lot of grief and pain after the miscarriage and only realized that after Kit and Alice told her, I can somewhat understand because she had the miscarriage but it was also Bette’s baby, it feels a bit double, I think Tina, as she says herself, is a spoiled brat that took Bette for granted, at a certain point she didn’t even see the small things that Bette did for her and their relationship.

      I notice that I find it difficult to like this Tina. She’s trying really hard and I hope she really knows how to win Bette back, but you can try too hard. She has to give Bette time and space and stay in therapy because she really has to learn that not everything goes the way she wants.

      I am a Tibetter at heart, so I fervently hope that they will find their way back to each other.

      I am a big fan of this story, hope to read another chapter soon!!!

      • Thank you so much. I’m glad you’re a big fan. It’s been fun to write and to really explore both of their points of view. Don’t give up on Tina just yet. I think she may surprise you in the coming chapters.

        Yes, it did start out positive. But relationships are messy. Especially when you have a love like Bette and Tina. It gets a little messy. And they are in the crux of the mess.

        Isn’t AJ the best. So sweet. I love the relationship between Bette and AJ. So important to see Bette so gentle and loving.

        They are going to have to talk about Bette’s grief before they can move forward. And that’s gonna be a doozy!

        Thanks for reading!

    2. Damn, Im crying now. Okay, damn you Tina, you broke your forever love. You better buy a gallon of superglue and get to sticking!What a great chapter! I can’t read it again tonight. PPS

    3. I am a Tibetter since TLW Season 1 and a great fan of this story. It’s been a month since your last chapter, eagerly awaiting for your next chapter…
